make the emails to parents more discrimating
It would be better if we could go through and check boxes and update under "Child Progress" without every single one becoming an email to parents. An entry under Activity is good to email, but I juset checked a bunch of boxes and HATE to think of all those emails going out.
A second solution would be an email digest.
I continue to worry about over-burdening parents with email notifications.

Jude, an email digest is planned (though it might be a little bit). In the meantime, you should know that we do batch up all your changes to child progress into a single email for parents. So no matter how many boxes you check, we will only send a parent 1 email each time you hit save. Does that help?
